Again you are missing the point. I actually could careless about Trump or what he has Tweeted. I'm not on Twitter or Facebook. I was not trying to make a case for him. If you don't see the danger in large tech companies and their political censorship of people with opinions they don't agree with then so be it. Your problem not mine. It's not like I'm the first person to ever bring this up.
The best example I can give you of Twitter's over reach is the suspension of The New York Post account over the article on Joe and Hunter Biden. Almost everything that was written in that article turned out to be true. Hunter Biden is now being investigated by the IRS and the laptop is in the possession of the FBI for possible money laundering charges in a case that started in 2018. The very obvious reason that Twitter did this was to protect candidate Biden. Yes Twitter is a private company entitled to their political opinion but to interfere in the function of the free press is a dangerous step. And one can only ask what is the next step?
